 5. Adjudicatory Role. Any EEOC legal decision authorizing non-federal entities (law firms, or
outside attorneys) to perform the EEOC’s adjudicatory function, as well as any correspondence
discussing the aptness of contracting out an inherently governmental EEOC function.

The C4C is a public interest group established in 2008 to eradicate employment discrimination
in the Federal government. The C4C also serves as an informational support network for present
and former Federal employees harmed due to workplace discrimination. As a non-profit public
interest group, we seek a waiver of fees associated with this request. The C4C believes disclosure
of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s
understanding of the operations and/or activities of the government. Moreover, consistent with the
intent of the Elijah Cummings Federal Employee Antidiscrimination Act the provided information
would further provide transparency and promote accountability in government’s operations. Do
note, if fees cannot be waived, please provide timely information for further appeal. The C4C
recognizes the EEOC’s critical enforcement role and has identified information which should be
readily available. Should you seek further clarification on this request, please email me at
c4c@coalition4change.org or call me on 202-810-5985.

Sincerely,

Tanya Ward Jordan, Founder
